Overview

Mission

Industry leading non-profit concentrating on saving the lives of unwanted, abused and abandoned cats and dogs from the local community and overcrowded shelters from across the country, while upholding best practices and the highest of morals and standards.

What it reported doing in 2024

Acquired a monthly benefactor to help with increasing costs to run a shelter, payroll and repairs. This allows even further ability to help and save even more animals by giving them a safe place to go inbetween kill shelters and forever homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
